SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR
BACK).
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.

The graphic symbols on the back cover of the set mean the following:

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is
int ended to alert t he user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage"
wit hin the produc t's enclosure t hat may be of sufficient magnitude to consti tute
a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamat ion point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to t he presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) in­structions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

WA RNING :

• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or
moisture.

• The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing, No objects filled
with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

• The mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain
readily operable.

• In order to disconnect the apparatus from the mains completely, the mains plug should
be disconnected from the mains socket outlet completely.

INSTALLATION

LOCATE the receiver in the room where direct light does not strike the screen. Total darkness
or a reflection on t he pict ure screen can cause eyest rain. Soft and indirec t lighting is rec om­mended for comfortable v iewing.
ALLOW enough space bet ween the receiver and the wall to permit proper ventilation.
AVOID excessive warm loc ations to prev ent possible damage to the c abinet or component
failure.

CONNECTION

This TV receiver is connect ed to AC: 220-240V~ 50Hz .

AUTOMATIC DEGAUSS ING

All colour television recei vers are sensitive to magnetic influences, usually caused by either
moving the receiver from one place t o another or using certain electrical appliances near the
receiver. This residual magnetism as it is called, som etimes causes distortion whic h gives rise
to "blotchy" areas of colour in the pict ure. To avoid these effects the receiver incorporates an
automatic degaussing circuit which operates for a short while immediately each time the
receiver is switched on using the mains switc h. This circuit removes any residual magnetism in
the metal parts of the pic ture tube and therefore ensures that each time the receiver is switched
lifelike. If the set is moved or faced in a different direc tion, the mains switch must be switched
off at least 10 minutes in order that the aut omatic degaussing circuit operates properly.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CA UTION

Never tamper with any components inside your set, or any other adjus tment controls not
mentioned in this manual. All television receivers are high voltage instruments. Your PICTURE
TUBE is a highly vacuum. If broken, glass fragments will be violently expelled. Scratching,
Chipping or undue pressure is dangero us and should be avoided. When you clean the PICTURE
TUBE FACE or CABINET, the power cord should be removed from the wall socket then wipe the
receiver with a dry soft cloth. All "inside work" on your receiver must only be performed only
by the Professional Service Personnel.
